Build

Run

Before actually run the application You must copy the libraries *.dll's into the target directory of build e.g. C:\Stellarium or have the *.dll's in Your path (I prefere the first: copy the dll's)

Also the directory structure of config/data/texture and so on must be present in the target directory e.g. C:\Stellarium

That's all !
